For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife.

For John said unto him, It is not lawful for you to have her.

And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath's sake, and them who sat with him to eat, he commanded it to be given her.

But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.

And when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, It is a spirit; and they cried out for fear.

Why do your disciples transgress the tradition of the elders? for they wash not their hands when they eat bread.

For God commanded, saying, Honor your father and mother: and, He that curses father or mother, let him die the death.

And honors not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have you made the commandment of God void by your tradition.

These people draw near unto me with their mouth, and honor me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.

But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.

For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from you, Lord: this shall not be unto you.

But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get you behind me, Satan: you are an offense unto me: for you consider not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if you will, let us make here three tabernacles; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is epileptic, and is very ill: for often he falls into the fire, and often into the water.

But whoever shall offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

Woe unto the world because of offenses! for it must needs be that offenses come; but woe to that man by whom the offense comes!

Therefore if your hand or your foot offend you, cut them off, and cast them from you: it is better for you to enter into life lame or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.

And if your eye offend you, pluck it out, and cast it from you: it is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.

Take heed that you despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in heaven.

For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.

And if so be that he finds it, verily I say unto you, he rejoices more for that sheep, than for the ninety and nine which went not astray.

Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth concerning anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven.

For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

The Pharisees also came unto him, testing him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they two shall be one flesh?

And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, commits adultery: and whoever marries her who is put away does commit adultery.

For there are some eunuchs, who were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, who were made eunuchs of men: and there are eunuchs, who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

But Jesus said, Allow little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

But when the young man heard that saying, he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

And everyone that has forsaken houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

But if we shall say, Of men; we fear the people; for all hold John as a prophet.

For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and you believed him not: but the tax collectors and the harlots believed him: and you, when you had seen it, repented not afterward, that you might believe him.

Hear another parable: There was a certain householder, who planted a vineyard, and hedged it round about, and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into a far country:

But when they sought to lay hands on him, they feared the multitude, because they took him for a prophet.

The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, who made a marriage for his son,

For many are called, but few are chosen.

But you be not called Rabbi: for one is your Teacher, even Christ; and all you are brothers.

And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, who is in heaven.

Neither be you called masters: for one is your Teacher, even Christ.

But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for you neither go in yourselves, neither allow you them that are entering to go in.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you devour widows' houses, and for a pretense make long prayer: therefore you shall receive the greater condemnation.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you travel on sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, you make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

You fools and blind: for which is greater, the gold, or the temple that sanctifies the gold?

You fools and blind: for which is greater, the gift, or the altar that sanctifies the gift?

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, justice, mercy, and faith: these ought you to have done, and not to leave the other undone.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you are like unto whitewashed sepulchers, which indeed appear beautiful outwardly but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.

For I say unto you, you shall not see me again, till you shall say, Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go you rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of man comes.

For the kingdom of heaven is as a man traveling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

For unto everyone that has shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that has not shall be taken away even that which he has.
